One Hundred Flowers

by Genki Kawamura, Cathy Hirano
One Hundred Flowers
One Hundred Flowers

Poetic reflection on life's ephemeral beauty.

If you're drawn to musings that are as beautifully delicate as petals in the wind, "One Hundred Flowers" could be a refreshing read for you. Genki Kawamura has a knack for weaving life’s fleeting moments into a tapestry of words that might just make you pause and appreciate the overlooked splendors around you. This isn't just a book; it's a quiet contemplation that blooms in your hands.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

But what happens when you begin to forget?Yuriko leads a quiet, orderly life as a piano teacher. It's New Year's Eve and her grown-up son Izumi comes to visit. Yuriko makes him his favourite omelette and hayashi rice. Together, they look like a normal family.But Yuriko has a secret. Many years earlier, when Izumi was a boy, Yuriko suddenly disappeared for an entire year. She returned, but the lost year was never discussed.Now as Yuriko begins to lose her memory, Izumi is forced to race against time as he seeks the truth behind this long-buried mystery.

And is he ready to become a father himself?One Hundred Flowers is a story about the preciousness of every moment, the beauty and pain of family love, and the healing power of letting go.
